We often hear the saying nothing is constant but change. This saying encompasses on everything including businesses. In the very competitive industry of consultancy, it is how a company differentiates its products and services and over-all production that gives it the clear-cut edge and advantage over his competitors. A company's products and services should always be better than what their competitors are offering, their business operations superior than what their competitors are doing. To achieve this, the most effective way would be to continuously improve the quality of their products and services offered in the market and most importantly their business operations. The concept of Kaizen or continuous improvement have been around the corporate world for the longest time and has helped many large and well-known companies into a success story, the most famous would be the Toyota car-maker company.
